Bing Crosby Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

Two things collide in a Bing Crosby quiz: the songs everyone knows and the films they came from. Guess the Bing Crosby song from 'White Christmas' and 'Swinging on a Star' to 'Pennies from Heaven', then test your trivia on the crooner who sang one of the best-selling singles of all time and taught the microphone to whisper. Trace the soft style that shaped Frank Sinatra, place each hit in the movie it came from, and find out how well you know the voice that ran popular radio for two decades.

'White Christmas', which Crosby introduced in the 1942 film Holiday Inn, is recognized as one of the best-selling singles of all time.
Crosby helped pioneer intimate crooning, singing softly into the microphone instead of belting, a style that shaped Frank Sinatra and countless singers after him.
He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for playing a priest in 1944's Going My Way, the film in which he sang 'Swinging on a Star'.
Crosby was an early supporter of magnetic tape recording; he invested in and backed Ampex's tape-recorder development after the war so he could pre-record his radio show rather than perform it live.
His 1977 duet with David Bowie, 'Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy', recorded weeks before Crosby's death, became a surprise holiday classic.

The seasonal giant everyone knows

'White Christmas' is the gimme almost anyone can name. The trivia is placing it to 1942's Holiday Inn, not the later film named after the song.

Crooner or actor, the double career

Crosby won a Best Actor Oscar for Going My Way and sang 'Swinging on a Star' in it. His film numbers are a quiz territory of their own.

The voice that taught Sinatra

The duets and covers that outlived him

From 'Pennies from Heaven' becoming a standard to the 1977 duet with David Bowie, Crosby turns up in places players do not expect.
